Abstract :
An experimental verification of energy link loss between the source at the transmitting antenna and the load at the receiver for ultrawideband systems is presented. The proposed closed-form approximations for the link loss analysis are verified experimentally for different types of antennas and pulse excitations. The measurements showed that the shape of the received pulse depends on the antenna transfer functions and the received pulse energy depends on effective height of the antenna.
